Many were concerned that the $76,000 MSRP was just too much money for a Volt-based luxury plug-in hybrid, and so far low sales seem to justify those concerns. There are already deals offering $20,000 or more in incentives to move the ELR off of lots, leading some to wonder what else is wrong with this ride.

After 5 months behind the wheel, one ELR owner has spoken up about what he likes, and what he doesnt like about his plug-in Cadillac.

On the future of plug-in hybrids in the Cadillac lineup:"I absolutely believe that we need not only a successor to ELR but more vehicles of that caliber and they will be part of our future. We must not give up on the car. I cannot have 50 priorities at the same time. The team and I will get around to working on ELR, but it is clearly going to be a niche car."

On the ELR's value-added factor: "It's priced as a luxury car. It's a Cadillac. There's a lot of technology and equipment in that car, by the way, that you won't find in a Tesla. There's 30 grand worth of value right there. All of that, combined, you have a very small segment of buyers remaining."

I thought it was what all of you thought it was, an overpriced Volt. I mean come on! It shares the same drive train! The DRIVE TRAIN! That must mean it's the same exact car right? Surely there's no way it's any different or better or worth the price? Well, I wouldn't pay 75 thousand dollars for one, but that's because I'm the type of person who'd rather buy a couple projects and tune them. But believe me, this car is worth every freaking penny.

The 2014 Cadillac ELR is an electric sexy new age ride for the those who like luxury and new tech. With a electric motor and a battery that will power the ELR for us to 38 mile on a single charge the ELR is an electric vehicle. But the Baddy also has as an gas engine that extends the battery's charge like the Chevy Volt on which it is base. Check out this TFLcar review after Roman spends a week behind the wheel of the ELR.

The way Teslarati learned all of this was that, after using a Las Vegas supercharger to give their Tesla Model what they thought would be about 240 miles worth of range for the 160-mile drive, the car unfortunately provided them with just 157 before shutting down. The culprit was a sand storm that sent 35-mile-per-hour headwinds (and probably a bit of grit) into the car as it maintained a 75-mph cruising speed

All good, except "...a strong headwind can almost double the Model S power requirements"

Get out of the car business.

The bond manager, who says he’d rather buy Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) shares instead of Twitter Inc., sees a 30 percent chance that the electric-vehicle maker will give speculative investors a “killer” return. Gundlach said he’s been trying to get together with Musk, a fellow Southern California resident, to persuade him to cut a deal with competitors in which Tesla would stop making cars and instead supply automakers’ batteries.

I am not afraid of Tesla, he told reporters following a panel discussion at the 2014 Automotive Forum presented by J.D. Power and the National Automobile Dealers Association. I think Tesla is a great opportunity and a learning exercise for all of us, and will help us traditional manufacturers to think twice about electric mobility.

NEW YORK – Cadillac today announced a partnership with ChargePoint, the largest and most open electric vehicle-charging network in the world. The collaboration brings Cadillac ELR drivers immediate access to more than 16,500 charging locations on the ChargePoint network.

All 2014 and 2015 ELRs include a ChargePoint Driver Kit in the owner’s manual, providing access to its 16,500 EV charging stations. Many are located where EV drivers work, eat, shop and play.

California is by far the largest market for plug-in electric cars in the world. It is estimated that some 40% of GM's (GM_) electric car sales are to California, and 50% of Tesla's. The numbers are probably almost as high for GM's and Tesla's main electric car competitors -- Ford (F_), Nissan NSANY and Toyota (TM_).
